#Driven

by Corey Minor Smith

Life is full of obstacles and roadblocks, but we are the drivers on the road to our own destiny. In #Driven, a motivational memoir, Corey Minor Smith shares her compelling story of how, with supportive family and friends, she propelled forward in the face of significant challenges. From a childhood filled with instability, an adulterous marriage resulting in heartbreak, a broken relationship with a mentally ill parent, and countless other demoralizing life situations - Corey’s posture is that of a fighter. She was unyielding in her determination to make her dreams of becoming a lawyer and serving others a reality. She was abandoned, abused, and discounted. But today, Corey Minor Smith is an attorney, author, and transformational speaker. She shares a heartwarming account that serves as a source of inspiration to hold fast to your hopes and dreams, and push forward until they come to fruition. #DRIVEN is an empowering presentation of how having faith in addition to being motivated, determined, prepared, and taking action can propel anyone to reach their desired goals.

I have purchased several copies of this wonderful book. This book is illuminating and filled with enthusiasm; while displaying the humility of the author. This masterpiece will demonstrate that no obstacle is too hard to overcome. All things are possible with GOD! This would make a great read for any book club. I have had the opportunity to hear Corey's life story first hand. She is a wealth of knowledge. This book shows us that just because you fall down, you don't have to stay down. Just because life will sometimes hit us where it hurts, the Bible teaches that we are more than conquerors, through Him that loved us. Keep up the GREAT work! Thanks for this artful work of genius!!

I found this to be an inspiring story to many young women and men who may not think they have a choice to succeed in life. Adversity hits everyone and she explains and proves she overcame while keeping it relatable to many. Les browns foreword was impacting and enhanced the overall story. Would recommend to anyone in need extra motivation or who thinks they may not overcome obstacles.

This is a compelling story of Determination and Positivity. Shows you what can be done inspite of Overwhelming Obstacles such that Life throws at ALL of us, let’s you know it the Choices We ourselves make to Overcome and Work Through. Shows that Success is within each of us and it’s up to us to “BRING IT”

Inspiring read. Survival and triumph through faith, focus and determination. The Author takes you on her challenging journey from a childhood of dealing with a parent with mental health problems, navigating a path to a whole adult guided by her faith, family and friends to success. This book proves that, Your beginning is not the end. Excellent!

This book has inspired me so much. I read a lot of books but this book truly inspired me. Books that really resonate with me are few and far between but this one is amazing. Driven by Corey Minor Smith has done so much to open mind about my journey as well as others. I will forever look at my "drive" differently now. This book is powerful.

Beautiful transparency......

[Jason Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is a significant demonstration of the opportunity afforded to all, when set backs may occur the lessons presented have far greater chance for growth, than perhaps a manicured path.

[Ron Tongue · Rating 5 out of 5]

By most one of the greatest true stories I have read. She brings you to her place and time sometime happy sometime sad but success is the key here and this i believe has what kept her Driven

Problems are opportunities to grow

Someone once told me that "problems are opportunities to grow." Corey Minor Smith did just that, and more, she EXCELLED!!! I've had the distinct pleasure of meeting and working with Corey in her first job as a prosecuting attorney in the Juvenile Court System in Canton, Ohio, and I knew then as well as I know now that this young lady is special. It was that courts loss, but especially the loss for the youth and families that she tried and did help when she left. Just as the case of the young man that was released on PTR and his mother was killed you gave him and his mother a final time together, and for him I'm sure he will never forget you or thank you enough for. Now for this AMAZING book I just finished all I can say is BRAVO COREY, B-R-A-V-O👏👏👏. Living in China I stay in contact with friends and family back home and imagine my surprise when I heard you just had a book released, so being the avid reader that I am, I immediately went to Amazon a got the book, and let me say; this book is a MUST READ!!! It's inspirational, motivating, captivating, and spiritual, everything a good read should be, but this should be no surprise, I mean after all its Corey Minor Smith #DRIVEN
You did a wonderful job Corey and I for one am so very proud of you, and everything that you have accomplished, and I know that you are not done yet, I can't wait to see what's next for you. #Dontsleeponthisbook #getyourcopytoday
